"We have assessed a total of approximately 14 patients,
mostly -- thankfully -- sustaining minor injuries, that have
been transported to local area hospitals," Stuart Brideaux,
spokesman for Calgary Emergency Medical Services, told CBC.

Early media reports had said that up to 40 passengers were
hurt, 15 of them seriously.

The Airbus A319 aircraft was on a flight from Victoria,
British Columbia.

Air Canada said its preliminary passenger list indicated
the plane carried 83 passengers and 5 crew members, though
Calgary emergency services said there were 91 people on board
the aircraft that has a capacity of 120.
